Gary, I expect – whether Osama bin Laden carries out his threats or not – the 2006 elections are going to be about terrorism. We’re in a war, they’re people running around out there who chop people’s heads off with swords, take twenty-eight-year-old girls hostage, hate Americans and threaten to blow up or cities. What should the election be about if not that?

Bush may be – as some say – blundering as he fights the war on terrorism, but at least he’s got the one key fact down – we’re in a war, we have to fight, and we have to win. I couldn’t tell you – or guess – what John Kerry or Hillary Clinton or John Edwards want to do to win that war.

The Democrats have a lot going for them in the next election. Scandals. Gas prices. Growing discontent with the war in Iraq. But they’re not going to be able to dodge telling us how they would win the war on terrorism. John Kerry already tried that and it didn’t work.

How about actually fighting that war and not other unrelated ones…

Carter how can you win a war when you don’t even know where the comander of the other Army is. Also the main battle ground for the war is in Iraq prior to 9/11 was that a haven for Al-Quada training? Was its leader a key member of Al-Quada? If there is another attack on our country I hope this administration handles it better than the did Katrina.

Carter how can you ‘win’ a two trillion dollar war in Iraq, and still have money left over to investigate and apprehend potential terrorists, domestic and foriegn, like Al Qaeda, Hamas, the Klan and Neo-Nazis?, at the same time the Republicans are insisting on more tax cuts and engaging in more tax evasion?

John Perkins, author of Confessions of an Economic Hitman, was featured this week on C-Span2, Book TV. A questioner asked him about 9/11– “… It just appalls me because it really, coming where I come from, it’s extremely difficult for me to believe that that whole thing was masterminded by a man living in a cave with a walkie talkie.”
